Resumo: The aim of this Critical Review Report is to describe and report on the international conference "Families and Family Policies in Europe - A Critical Review", wich took place in Lisbon, at the Institute for Social Sciences (University of Lisbon), in May 2010. Organized by FAMILYPLATFORM consortium, the main objective of this 3 day conference was to carry out a critical review of existing research on families and family policies in Europe. Drawing on expert reviews of the state of the art, critical statements by stakeholders and policy makers, and debate on the major challenges for research and policies, the conference was organized with a view to providing a major forum for discussing and identifying the design of future family policies and research.
Descrição: This report was produced by FAMILYPLATFORM. FAMILYPLATFORM (SSH-2009-3.2.2 Social platform on research for families and family policies) is funded by the EU’s 7th Framework Programme (€1,400,000) and has a duration of 18 months (October 2009 – March 2011). The consortium consists of the following 12 organisations: 1) Technical University Dortmund (Coordinators); 2) State Institute for Family Research, University of Bamberg; 3) Family Research Centre, University of Jyväskylä; 4) Austrian Institute for Family Studies, University of Vienna; 5) Demographic Research Institute, Budapest; 6) Institute of Social Sciences, University of Lisbon; 7) Department of Sociology and Social research, University of Milan-Bicocca; 8) Institute of International and Social Studies, Tallinn University; 9) London School of Economics; 10) Confederation of Family Organisations in the European Union (COFACE), Brussels; 11) Forum delle Associazioni Familiari, Italy; 12) Mouvement Mondial des Mères, Brussels; Contact info@familyplatform.eu or visit http://www.familyplatform.eu for more information.Wed, 01 Sep 2010 00:00:00 GMThttp://hdl.handle.net/10451/44072010-09-01T00:00:00ZSocial Inequality and Diversity of Families Working Report (April 2010)http://hdl.handle.net/10451/4406

Resumo: In this state‐of‐art report we focus on some of the more relevant issues from the
perspective of social inequality and families within and across European societies. We
begin by addressing the three main topics included in this existential field by the Family
Platform Project: migration, poverty, family violence. Additionally, we will look at two
key issues which are important in contextualizing and discussing the above‐mentioned
topics. First, we will summarize recent trends in social inequality in European societies.
Secondly, we will review some of existing research on the relationship between social
inequalities and families, by examining the impact of social inequality on family forms
and dynamics as well as the transmission and reproduction of inequalities within
families. Social inequality shapes family life, but families and their members must also
be seen as actors in the system of inequality (transmitting inequalities to subsequent
generations, reproducing them within the home and through their networks, and
resisting the effects of inequality).
Research review in this existential field was carried out separately on each of the abovementioned
topics. Migration, poverty and family violence are large and autonomous
fields of research which do not have common theoretical and methodological
underpinnings or empirical data sets. For this report it was therefore important to grasp
the major trends and findings within each research topic before moving on to broader
conclusions on research into social inequalities and diversity of families in Europe.Thu, 01 Apr 2010 00:00:00 GMThttp://hdl.handle.net/10451/44062010-04-01T00:00:00Z
